Nowadays, short videos are everywhere, and people seem to have become accustomed to brushing short videos to pass the time.

The 49th Statistical Report on China's Internet Development released by China Internet Information Center (CNNIC) shows that as of 20021and 12, the number of short video users was 934 million, and behind this huge data, a large number of users invested time.

You must have experienced it-you decided to go to bed early, but you couldn't stop turning on your mobile phone in bed.

Now there are useless short videos of dog blood on the platform, but I can't stop my hands and brush them for hours unconsciously.

I always wait until I can't hold on, then I put down my cell phone and fall asleep.

Children usually go to school, and there are few opportunities to brush short videos, but now it is summer vacation, and children have plenty of time to brush short videos.

In addition, parents or relatives and friends around them also have the habit of brushing short videos, so children are likely to be immersed in the environment of short videos in a summer vacation.

Although brushing short videos may calm children down, it is still not recommended to let children brush short videos.

Brushing short videos is not only a waste of time, but also brings some subtle influences to children, even affecting the brain and learning.

1. Beware of children immersed in "low-level happiness".

There was a topic on the hot search # Low-level happiness is dragging you down # which caused a heated discussion for a time.

Some netizens said:

"Read more, study more, and pursue advanced happiness"

Some netizens also objected:

"Happiness also has high and low points? Is there a chain that despises happiness? "

Yes, that's right. There are high and low levels of happiness.

Low-level happiness can be obtained through indulgence;

Advanced happiness can only be achieved through self-discipline;

And that kind of top happiness can only be obtained after suffering.

American diplomat brzezinski put forward a word "nipple reservation" in 1995, which was later translated into "nipple music theory".

Brzezinski believes that with social development and economic progress, the gap between the rich and the poor will become wider and wider, and more and more 20% of the population will occupy 80% of social resources.

In order to appease the 80% population, 20% capitalists stuffed them with "nipples" to immerse them in "low-level happiness", which made them lose their ability to think and judge independently and their desire to fight. ...

How to implement this strategy?

That is to create "low-level happiness" for 80% people.

1. Develop satisfactory entertainment: soap operas, idol dramas, celebrity gossip and other entertainment industries make people addicted to pleasure and comfort, and lose their self-motivation and deep thinking ability.

2. Develop venting entertainment: such as exciting games, porn industry and online war of words;

Short video is the main force.

Most of the content presented in short videos is straightforward and funny, and they all go straight to the theme to stimulate the audience quickly. Without deep thinking, people can't stop being dazzled;

The content presented in the short video has a dynamic "brainwashing divine comedy" blessing. These background music have a dynamic rhythm and bright tunes, which bring the audience an immersive experience and make people unconsciously brush one video after another;

Most of the contents presented in short videos are grandiose and illusory, either playing Gao Fushuai or pretending to be poor, but they are all script performances, but the audience is deeply involved.

Short videos have indeed created a convenient and entertaining world for people, and also brought people relaxation.

But what do we remember after brushing these videos? Except endless emptiness, I'm afraid it's just a waste of time. ...

Adults are still like this, children are in the process of growth and development, self-control, self-discipline and judgment are not mature, and it is easier to indulge in them.

What are the hazards of indulging in "low-level happiness"

Being in "low-level happiness" for a long time will be addictive.

Addiction can do harm to the brain.

Addiction can make the brain go through three stages-desensitization reaction, sensitization reaction and functional degradation of prefrontal cortex.

Desensitization reaction:

When we are stimulated by new stimuli, dopamine increases sharply and then decreases sharply until we satisfy this stimulus through certain behaviors.

At this time, we need more stimulation to satisfy this "hunger", and this process goes on and on, causing us to be numb to the whole process, such as:

In the past, brushing a short video for 2 minutes would make your brain feel happy and excited. Now brushing 1 hour may not make you feel excited, but you are eager for this excitement, so you can only spend more time brushing short videos.

Allergic reaction:

You will be more sensitive to addiction-related things. In other words, once you get used to brushing short videos, it may be difficult for you to be interested in other things in the world, such as reading, studying and thinking.

In the process of constant stimulation, desensitization and sensitization, the function of the prefrontal lobe of our brain degenerates (this is a different part of the evolution of human beings and animals), and finally we can't control our behavior.

Even due to a series of chain reactions, we will have symptoms such as insanity, nervousness, neurasthenia, depression and uncontrollable.

Generally speaking, indulging in "low-level happiness" such as brushing short videos will do great harm to children's brains.

If children are in "low-level happiness" for a long time, it is difficult for them to be interested in "boring" learning and reading, indulge in short-term happiness, and thus lose the ability to think deeply;

Moreover, the child's brain is developing, which may also lead to developmental retardation, emotional out of control, irritability, etc.

In the long-term temporary happiness obtained through indulgence, children will also lose interest in those behaviors in life that require hard work to get happiness, such as reading, sports, learning and so on.

Resist "low-level happiness",

Have a meaningful summer vacation with your children.

In fact, many times, children are addicted to "low-level happiness", which is rooted in the family and also because of their parents.

Parents must do these three things well if they want to keep their children away from garbage and happy:

1. Take children to do things that delay satisfaction.

The reason why we are immersed in the "low-level happiness" of brushing short videos is because it can bring you "instant satisfaction".

The happiness it brings is timely and effortless, similar to eating melon seeds, playing games, karaoke and so on. As long as you do these things, you will feel happy at that time.

What our children need more is "delayed gratification", such as reading, studying and exercising. You will only be happy if you pay a certain amount of time and energy to achieve a certain result.

This is why it is easy for children to eat melon seeds for hours and play games all afternoon, but it is difficult for them to read quietly for half an hour.

Melon seeds feel sweet when they enter the mouth, and they feel exciting when they open the game. However, reading and happiness take time, and you need to know your own memory, and the feedback is not timely.

Once children are addicted to short videos, playing games and other instant satisfaction, it is difficult for them to become interested in boring books and complicated formulas, and it is also difficult for them to degenerate, learn to improve themselves and lose their positive pursuit.

2. Set an example and stay away from "low-level happiness"

Children lack self-awareness when they are young. Don't expect children to consciously stay away from "low-level happiness."

Parents need to "force" in time.

It is necessary to formulate certain norms, especially during the summer vacation, and strictly regulate children.

"Before the age of 6, parents should try not to let their children touch electronic products such as mobile phones. Even if they use it, they should delete entertainment apps such as games and short videos;

6- 12 years old, should not be over-suppressed. You can negotiate with your child to stipulate the length and frequency of playing mobile phones and formulate strict rules for use. If you violate it, you must accept punishment;

12- 18 years old, adolescent children generally have a strong sense of self, so parents should properly manage and guide them as appropriate. "

Parents are children's best teachers and their first imitators.

Parents should set an example, don't indulge in "low-level happiness" such as short videos and soap operas, and don't put short videos outside the loud voice around their children.

Try to provide a comfortable and warm environment for children.

3. Enrich children's spare time.

When a child is addicted to games or short videos, it is actually that he has nothing else interesting to do. Parents should take their children to experience a different life.

Professor Li Meijin once shared a case:

A father found his son addicted to games when he was a sophomore. Instead of stopping him, he took his son to a table tennis class in the summer vacation.

Every weekend, dad asks to compete with his son.

As a result, in order to beat his father, his son had to practice harder and gradually got rid of online games.

Parents may wish to enrich their children's lives, cultivate their hobbies and take their children to learn painting, dancing, sports and traveling. ...

You can even do farm work, learn to cook and so on. Don't save trouble. Throw a child a mobile phone, and it doesn't matter. What you save now may cause trouble in the future.

The progress of science and technology, the prevalence of short video is the general trend, we are irreversible;

But "the blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom is bitter and cold."

The temporary happiness gained by indulgence is useless and empty, and only the achievements achieved through tempering are full and happy.

Parents should understand that scientific and technological progress is also a "double-edged sword", take their children to experience the good aspects and abandon the bad ones.

I hope to guide children correctly and be a "guide" for their growth.
